Tokyo, March 31 (QNA) - Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto agreed Tuesday to promote concrete cooperation in the economic and security fields.
In a joint press appearance after the talks in Tokyo, Takaichi said the two leaders also affirmed their nations' close alignment in addressing the situation in the Middle East, where the ongoing US-Israeli war against Iran has fueled energy supply concerns and driven crude oil prices higher.
She said that Japan will help Indonesia cultivate artificial intelligence-related human resources and enhance maritime security capabilities, according to Japan's (Kyodo) news agency.
For his part, Prabowo called bilateral ties an "exemplary" model for other countries, adding that Indonesia and Japan should "walk together" in the current international situation, which he said was "fraught with dangers."
He also showed his eagerness to contribute to "deescalation," apparently with the ongoing Middle East conflict in mind. (QNA)
